Diphyonyx sukacevi, formerly Brachygeophilus sukacevi, is a species of soil centipede in the family Geophilidae[1] found in the most western part of the Caucasus range and the Manych valley north of the Caucasus. It's characterized by its 65–81 leg pairs, 5-7 slender filaments on the mid-part of the labrum, condyles between the anterior trunk sterna, and the lack of a single, isolated pore on each coxo-pleuron.[2]
